RBS lending to small businesses: Westminster Hall debate

11 March 2010

Jim Hood, Labour MP for Lanark and Hamilton East, opened a debate in Westminster Hall on lending by the Royal Bank of Scotland to small businesses, particularly where facilities which have been agreed are withdrawn at the last minute. Economic Secretary to the Treasury, Ian Pearson, replied to the debate

Westminster Hall adjournment debates allow MPs to discuss issues of local or personal interest which rarely have time to be debated in the main Chamber of the House of Commons. MPs can discuss a variety of issues and receive a response from a government Minister.
